Ahaan Panday made waves with his debut film Saiyaara earlier this year. The actor played the role of Krish in the romantic musical directed by Mohit Suri. The film, which also starred Aneet Padda, became a box-office rage, with Ahaan and Aneet finding a fan base in no time. Soon after, Ahaan was tagged the heartthrob of 2025. While he continues to soak in the adulation, his mother Deanne Panday has revealed that the family was unprepared for some shocking moments that followed his sudden stardom.

Deanne Panday on Ahaan`s fan interactions

In a conversation with The Nod, Deanne Panday revealed that the family was stunned when Ahaan received a letter written in blood. “Within days of the film releasing, our lives changed completely. There were photographers outside our house daily. We’re a very low-key family — my husband doesn’t even attend industry events. Suddenly, privacy disappeared.”
